Gliomas are tumors often associated with epigenetics-related gene deregulation. Here the authors reveal an atlas of active enhancers and promoters in benign and malignant gliomas by performing whole-genome mapping of chromatin accessibility, histone modifications, DNA methylation patterns and transcriptome analysis simultaneously in multiple tumor samples.
